While eating Why we are sitting with folded legs . . .

Tamil Tradition and Culture is Healthy and Scientific Formalities to us

While eating, we should sit with folded legs. If we keep our legs hanging in vertical position, the blood circulation flow more towards leg and less in stomach. This causes slow digestion.

If we eat with folded legs, food will digest as and when we eat. Because the blood flows more in stomach instead of leg, the digestion is happening well.

This is the reason why it is insisted to sit in folded legs while eating.
